Expert Answers about Ford F-150 and F-250 Light Duty


  • Can I Use DeeZee Installion Kit DZ16318 To Install OEM Running Boards On 1997 Ford F-150
  • The Custom Installation Kit for DeeZee 6" Oval Tube Steps part # DZ16318 are brackets designed specifically to attach DeeZee tube steps. I cannot guarantee the DeeZee installation kit will work to install the Ford's OEM running boards without modification. I was not able to find any information on which manufacturer produced the OEM boards on the truck. I recommend to replace the boards as well with Westin Sure-Grip Running Boards w/ Custom Installation Kit part # 27-6125-1265 to ensure...

  • Westin Perfect Match Series Bumper for 1998 Ford F-150
  • We have a couple Westin bumpers that fit your 1998 Ford F-150 but part # 31016 fits certain model years of the Dodge Dakota and not your truck. Instead we have part # 31002 which is chrome plated bumper that will fit your F-150 but we don't currently have a black powder coat bumper that does.

  • Recommended Tailgate Assist For A 1998 Ford F-150
  • I'm not quite sure what you mean but I'm assuming since you were looking at a tailgate assist that that's what you're looking for. If that's the case then the DeeZee Tailgate Assist Custom Tailgate-Lowering System # DZ43203 would be a confirmed fit as long as your 1998 Ford F-150 isn't a stepside or flareside model.

  • Replacement OEM Electrical Connector For Factory Tow Package Wiring On a 1998 Ford F-150
  • Unfortunately we do not carry the OEM replacement pigtail for the 1998 Ford F-150. You would have to try a Ford dealership, auto part store, or salvage yard. If they do not or cannot get the replacement you can always cut the plug off and hard wire the ends together. I recommend using Deka Heat Shrink Butt Connector - 12-10 Gauge - Nylon Insulation - Yellow - Qty 10 Item # DW05745-10 when connecting the wires. These will protect your connection from corrosion and get your 7 pole plug working...

  • Recommended Thermostat Control Switch For Flex-a-lite 16" Flex-Wave Electric Fan
  • The recommended thermostat switch for the Flex-a-lite 16" Flex-Wave Electric Fan part # FLX236 in the 1999 Ford F-250 4x4 is Flex-a-lite Adjustable Temperature Controller for Electric Fan part # FLX31149 which will actually read the engine coolant temperature to activate the fan when needed. It will also turn the fan on when you have the AC running in the truck. I have attached the wiring diagram for the thermostatic controller for your reference.

  • Will 7- and 4-Pole Trailer Connector Socket HM40975 Fit a 1997 Ford F-150 Flareside w/Factory 7-Way
  • On the back of your factory 7-Way trailer connector on your 1997 Ford F-150 the wiring harness should plug into the back of it meaning it can be removed. If that is indeed the case with yours then you can install 7- and 4-Pole Trailer Connector Socket w/ Mounting Bracket - Vehicle End Item # HM40975 in its place. I have linked a video that shows installation for you. I do not anticipate a problem because all of the replacement 7-Ways listed for your truck install in the same way.

  • Will the Tekonsha Primus IQ Brake Controller work with the Curt Adapter 4 Pole to 7 Pole and 4 Pole
  • Thanks for your recent brake controller and wiring adapter purchase! Yes, the Tekonsha Primus IQ brake controller # TK90160 should work with the Curt adapter 4 pole to 7 pole and 4 pole # C57674 with the integrated test lights.

  • Compatibility of Pickup Truck Ladder Racks with Tonneau Covers
  • Tonneau covers and ladder racks can be compatible with each other when they do not use the same mounting points on the truck bed rails. Both tonneau covers and ladder racks can mount either inside the bed rails or on top of them. As an example, the TracRac SR sliding ladder racks like # TH43002XT-501 mount on top of the bed rails so they will work with tonneau covers like Tonno Pro soft roll-up cover # TPLR-3080 which installs inside the bed rails. Please feel free to email me back with...

  • Compatability of Fifth Wheel Hitch in Reese Rails on a 2003 Ford
  • Your RBW 15,000 pound hitch should fit in the Reese rails unless they are installed improperly. When the hitch was installed on the F-550 it may have been tightened down with the gooseneck adapter installed and the rails are just out of position for your fifth-wheel hitch. If the hitch you have is not fitting by a small amount I would try to loosen the mounting bolts on the rails and then install the fifth-wheel hitch. After you have the hitch installed you can then re-tighten the mounting...
